In case you're after another phone, then settling on Android or iOS is one of the greatest choices you have to make (unless you select a specialty choice like Windows Phone or BlackBerry).

In 2016, nonetheless, exactly what number of contrasts stay between these two stages?
On the off chance that you've spent a large portion of your smartphone life on one stage or the other then you may not know much about the other - but rather we've invested a lot of energy with both. Here are the key contrasts and similitudes between Android and iOS .

History

The main Android phone, the T-Mobile G1 (or the HTC Dream in the US) showed up in October 2008; the primary iPhone was propelled in June 2007. From that point forward, these working systems have changed significantly - keep in mind the iPhone didn't bolster third-party applications in the first place.
We've now on adaptation 6 of Android (Marshmallow) and adaptation 9 of iOS, with new forms due out before the year's over . Through the span of the last nine a long time we've seen these stages get to be all the more similar as far as the elements they offer, the way they handle notices, and the applications they bolster.
Obviously Samsung , LG, HTC, Sony and others all redo Android in their own route, and there's likewise the issue of discontinuity - just Google's Nexus devices are ensured to run the most later, unmodified form of the Android working system.
Significantly a larger number of clients are running iOS 9 than Android 6, however Android is on more phones generally speaking. It's something Apple is glad for, in spite of the fact that Google would call attention to its own particular OS is substantially more adaptable and customisable - on the off chance that you try not to like the content informing application, you can introduce another.
Highlights
Since Google chose to turn its primary applications out of Android, the mobile OS itself is basically simply the application launcher and the Settings screen. Interestingly, iOS redesigns still incorporate upgrades to Mail, Maps, Safari, Notes, News and the various applications you get with the product.
As we've noted, Google gives clients and application engineers more adaptability regarding altering the way the OS works (default applications, bolt screens, gadgets etc) - on iOS, you're basically stayed with the way Apple needs to get things done (which for some clients is just fine).
Outwardly, Android's Material Design offers a more brilliant, very much characterized visual interface than iOS, which hasn't had a noteworthy upgrade since 2013. Apple's OS is all translucent shades and thin lines, Google's is blocky card shapes and intense headings and text styles.
Both OSes handle multitasking in comparative ways furthermore, iOS has likewise included a back catch of its claim as of late. Both have battery sparing components, mobile installments bolster, computerized colleagues, and the capacity to go down the majority of your valuable information to the cloud consequently.

Ecosystem

Both Google and Apple need to bolt you into their separate application ecosystems, yet Apple is significantly more genuine about it: you won't discover bolster for iCloud or Apple Mail on Android, though the greater part of Google's applications are accessible (also, run exceptionally well) on iPhones and iPads.
Google's concentration is more on the cloud though Apple lean towards nearby devices and local applications.
It's practically win or bust with Apple: iPhones and iPads work exceptionally well with Macs also, the Apple TV, yet good fortunes attempting to get your iTunes films to play on an Android TV box.
In the event that you cherish Apple's approach, that is no issue - yet it's something to endure as a main priority. As you would anticipate from the organization behind Chrome OS, getting to your Google stuff on the web is substantially more direct, in spite of the fact that Apple does now have an iCloud web interface.
In the event that all that you possess is made by Apple then iOS turns out to be significantly more engaging, whether you're attempting to get at your advanced music and films, switch between the same applications on different devices, or flawlessly synchronize your information between phones, tablets and PCs.

Native and Third party applications

As we've as of now said, Google's applications (Gmail, Google Maps, Google Keep etc) are presently upgraded freely from Android. These applications are all accessible on iOS as well, however the variants for Google's own OS are generally marginally predominant (and regularly overhauled first).
Attempting to think about these applications against Apple's counterparts is no simple occupation: it's feasible you've as of now got used to one arrangement of applications or the other. Home bases versus iMessage, Gmail versus Mail, Google Maps versus Apple Maps... the elements are comparable and there are no unmistakable victors.
iOS has for some time been the victor to the extent outsider application support is concerned, however the hole has shut as the years progressed: it's currently uncommon to locate a noteworthy application or diversion that doesn't in the end come to both Android and iOS, despite the fact that it may dispatch on one or the other first.
New, trial applications typically show up on iOS before Android: because of the fracture issue specified over, it's simpler for engineers to code for iOS clients (and they spend more cash as well). Apple's stage still has the edge similarly as exceptional applications go.
Google Now versus Siri
Going ahead the greatest advancements in smartphone improvement are probably going to come in the super-canny advanced aides:
Google Now and Siri. Both give you voice-controlled access to your phone and additionally savvy prompts for travel and occasions when you require them.
Generally, Google Now has been more about surfacing the right data when you require it, however Apple has as of late made Siri more proactive as well. Google Now is too accessible on iOS in restricted shape, yet Siri is limited to iOS and the new Apple TV .
The applications additionally demonstrate the clashing dispositions towards information protection by these two organizations: Google clears up as much information as it can about you over different stages furthermore, administrations, evidently giving Google Now a better thought of what data you're going to need when.
Siri is more secured: more private however more restricted. Both are exceptionally able at seeking the web, discovering data on your phone, and getting to upheld mobile applications (commonly the Apple ones for Siri's situation what's more, the Google ones to the extent Google Now is concerned).

Android 7.0 Nougat versus iOS 10

In the following couple of months we're going to see new OS
discharges from both Google and Apple - in reality in case you're audacious then you might have even introduced the beta renditions of these product bundles, which can now be downloaded and tried gratis.
iOS 10 isn't an immense update, however it does carry with it cleaner notices (and better bolt screen get to), more intelligent programmed labeling in Photos (like Google Photographs), visual changes to Apple Music and Apple Maps, and more impacts and emojis in iMessage (presumably on account of WhatsApp). With respect to Android 7.0 Nougat , we're going to see local support for numerous windows, a committed VR mode, warning gathering, what's more, the capacity to run applications straight from the web without introducing them first. There are a few different changes as well, including better battery execution.
Maybe the greater news from Google is the declaration of Allo and Duo, two applications to go up against iMessage and FaceTime, however these aren't entirely connected to Android (and iOS variants will be accessible as well). Like Apple, Google is focused on enhancing its behind- the-scenes AI too.

As far as Android versus iOS put straight on, the current year's upgrades don't move the needle in any real way, however Google looks significantly more focused on mobile VR now. Both tech titans are upgrading and refining their key applications, and upgrading the abilities of their computerized associates.
As dependably the question with Android is just what number of devices will get Nougat and how rapidly - this is a piece of the motivation behind why applications like Gmail and Google Maps have been spun out of the center OS, so they can be upgraded independently.

Conclusion.

Both these stages are smooth, stable and secure, with a great many applications accessible. Android is without a doubt more customisable; iOS, you may contend, is somewhat more cleaned (particularly on tablets). Outwardly they're very particular as well, taking distinctive plan approaches. Customisation, ecosystem, applications, similarity with different applications and devices - these are the key issues you ought to be weighing up when setting Android against iOS. It's additionally worth considering the contrasts between Google Now and Siri and which one suits you best. Shockingly for purchasers, it's more
troublesome than at any other time to bounce from one OS to the other. At the point when getting another handset, a great many people are probably going to stick to what they know, and in light of current circumstances: moving discount from one stage to the next can be a genuine agony. There are a staggering number of focuses to consider in the Android versus iOS banter about and we've just inspired space to address some of them. In the event that you have solid sentiments one way on the other hand the other - and you can back them up - at that point let us know your contemplations in the remarks.
